Who here

wants to

win the

lottery?

The truth is,

you already

have.

Who is this

guy, and what

is this guy

talking

about? ?

My name is

Russ.

This is my brother.

1 Principal – 3 Degrees – 55 Countries Travelled

Let’s talk

about where

we live.

I can’t get a

wi-fi signal.

I have three

exams this

week!

I asked for a

no whip

frappuccino

and ended up

with this.

My brother/

sister stole

the remote.

Talk about

problems.

Let’s talk about

food.

What the world eats.

Chad | Breidjing | 1 Week | $1.23 USD

What the world eats.

Ecuador | Tingo | 1 Week | $31.55 USD

What the world eats.

United States | North Carolina | 1 Week | $341.98 USD

There are

516,064,963

obese people in the

World.

925 million people do

not have enough to

eat and 98 percent of

them live in developing

countries.

Let’s talk about

water.

What the world drinks.

Canada | Available where you live | Chlorine & Fluoride

What the world drinks.

Africa - 40 Billion Hours/yr | Worldwide -27,000 Deaths/wk

Let’s talk about

poverty.

There are 2.2 billion

children in the

World.

1 billion of these

children live in

poverty.

That’s almost 3

times the

population of the

USA.

In fact..

It is estimated that 30,000 children die from poverty-related

causes every day.

Let’s talk about

education.

Millions of children in

developing countries

will never see the

inside of a classroom.

In fact...

Almost 1 in 5 children worldwide don’t attend school.

Poverty has robbed

these children of the

educational

opportunities we enjoy.

Things can go one of

two ways.

Building

Walls of

Wisdom.

We set out to make

a small-positive

change .

Specifically,

and we have just

started our

6th & 7th project.

Where we have built.

and awareness in many

ways.
